The South Florida Business Journal has named veteran financial journalist Al Lewis, a former Denver Post business editor, its next editor-in-chief.

With an award-winning career spanning three decades, Lewis most recently was a columnist for the Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch. Lewis will join SFBJ on July 14. SFBJ is owned by American Cities Business Journal, which has publications in 40 cities.

“I’m especially pleased to [be] joining this company in South Florida, a vibrant microcosm of the global economy, where billionaires flock to buy real estate and immigrants of more modest means come to chase the American Dream. Telling their stories, as part of a dedicated team of journalists, will be a great adventure,” Lewis said in a post on his blog, tellittoal.com.
